Guinea Pig TIMP1 ELISA Kit (A73851) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of guinea pig TIMP1 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. An antibody specific for TIMP1 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the TIMP1 present in each sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation, the wells are washed and then incubated with Biotinylated Anti-TIMP1 Antibody, which binds the captured TIMP1 present in each well. Following incubation, unbound biotinylated detection antibody is removed by washing, and an HRP-Streptavidin conjugate is added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction by catalysis to produce a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow after addition of acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the amount of TIMP1 captured in each well. The concentration of TIMP1 can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
